Purse made with can pull tabs. [2nd one]

First thing i gotta tell you: this purse it's kinda DIFFICULT to do! it's not as easy as the other things i've posted here before. In my previous posts you can see a purse like this one but the other one was a lil' bigger and large.



<--- Here you can see how the sewing goes... easy? noup....

You'll need around 200+ to make one of these, so if you want to make one, start collecting them! Whenever you see someone drinking a soda or anything from a can just say you need these pull tabs. Maybe people will be like "huh? what do you want them for...?" but they sure give them to you. In the past post about this i think i wrote how some of you can make this [ check and if i'm wrong you can kick me..twice haha].

<-- the inside of the purse.

As you can see it has a great space inside, perfect for storing a few things. To make it better, sew a piece of fabric inside, that way it won't look "transparent" , you can choose any color you want [yes any!] i used a blue piece of fabric because the thread used in these it's navy blue. At first i thought about making it green but then i decided that i wanted a blue one [ that used to be my fav color].

Take a look at the fabric -- >>>

<-- the buttonhole [ you can make it any size you desire].

<-- see that yellow arrow? no? mhm you are blind haha. Naw i drew that ugly arrow to show ya where  the buttonhole goes.



this is the way it'll look when you close it.





taran! the finished purse.

The whole process i can't really explain it to you but if you catch me in person, you can attack me [yes attack me] with 7583943 questions about how this was made. Mhm i believe  that in the previous post i kinda explain it a little, not too much though. [ sorry if i'm just confusing ya]. I'm thinking of uploading videos instead of this...

It's basically the same process as the other one, so you should check it out, and as always, be CAREFUL on where you sew things, peace out! >:)

 Things you'll need:

*200+ can pull tabs

*The kind of thread you see in the pictures.

*Scissors

*Piece of fabric

*Hook for the massive sewing part

*TIME, PATIENCE AND DEDICATION >:)

CapriSun purse [the big one i had promised].

As some of you may remember, a while ago i made a purse using only CapriSun envelopes but it was a very small one [which by the way doesn't exist anymore]. Yeah, i destroyed that purse in order to make this one, much bigger! the other one looked like it was made for polly pockets or something.

<-- the front and one side of the purse.

To make one like this just follow the instructions i posted before. I think it's the umm second post? yeah go check it out >:)

<-- the down side of the purse.

For this purse i used 42 enevelopes, that's without counting the envelopes i used to make the handles.

the inside of the purse -->>

What you see above is how it looks from the inside. I chose to sew those two pieces of cloth [ orange!]to use them as pockets. That size is good  and i mean for the whole purse and for the size of the 'pockets'.Remember that you have to sew it in parts, not all shuuuum! no no... first one thing then another.Also keep in mind that you can use as many envelopes you desire! you can use more than 50 if you want [but that'd be too many]. Or you can use less, that's your choice.

This purse it's not difficult to do, you just gotta be careful where you sew all the envelopes, you have to make sure that they're all lined up and stuff. I strongly recommed to use the sewing machine!!if you don't want to go crazy... use it >;) If you need help doing this, just contact me and i'll be happy to help you. For some reason i love doing these type of bags.

Things you'll need:

*CapriSun envelopes [more than 40]

*Scissors

*Needle and thread

*Sewing machine [necessary!]

*Piece of cloth [any color]

*Time and dedication >:)



Skirt Purse.

Sometimes we have lots of clothes that may seem not useful for us anymore but... we are WRONG! oh yes we are wrong. 

<-- front side of the purse.

I'm the kind of person  that will have bunches and bunches of old clothes all pilled up in the closet or somewhere else! 

Let me say that this skirt wasn't mine.. noup! i used to be kinda tomboy [maybe i'm still one.. ] when i was younger so i didn't buy these kind of clothing, i was all about jeans and stuff. I didn't buy dresses either [i'm begining to buy them at last!] But umm this post is not  about my likes and dislikes in clothing hah so instead i'll tell you how you can do a purse like this. And no.. you can't wear this!

back side of the purse -->>

First thing you gotta do is find an old skirt you think you'll never use again! never never again in your life... [okay that sounded drastic but it's true]. I say find cause i found this one , i didn't buy it or something similar, i found it here in my house one day. It looked like trash so i had to wash it before so make sure it's clean, otherwise it won't look good. Oh.. but you gotta be sure that nobody will use it, don't be selfish and think about others haha. But now that i mention this i don't even know who was the owner of this skirt  tehee, i'm a bad person or what?. Maybe one day the owner will show up and tell me "yo ilze! that's my skirt.. wth?! you turned it into a purse?". [let's hope that doesn't happen].

Okay, you got your skirt all cleaned up? yeah? all right! First, you'll have to cut two pieces of jean fabric in order to do the handles, because we want a purse with handles right? i mean you can do it without the handles but i don't think you'll want to be carrying it all around. These two pieces that you will cut, make sure that are the same size, you'll sew them at the very half [ you can fold them to see where the half is at]. In other words you'll shape them in the shape [durh] of handles u u u. <-- similar to that. 

<-- the inside of the purse.

Then, you'll have to sew the skirt from the very bottom, this is not difficult to accomplish if you have a sewing machine. Just sew it from one side to the other, just follow the bottom line. I sew from the inside but you can do it from the outside too. When you finish sewing this you can sew it from the sides too, i did it because for some reason i thought it would be more resistant [rawr!]. You can see in the pictures that sewing i'm telling you. There's no need to sew the pockets from anywhere, they look nice heh besides you can use them to store things inside, as if it was a simple skirt.

You can add some decoration to the purse when you are finished with sewing. oh i almost forgot.. the handles! yes they're important. You'll sew them from the front and back side [look at picture #1] there you can see clearly the handles. Sew them as many times as you can! when i sewed this the first time i only did it once so you can imagne how it was.. i hung it over my shoulder and tttttrrrrsssssttt..! it ripped! yeah it sucked but then i sewed it again for like hmm.. 6 times or so and now it's resistant as _____. yeah like that!

I know my instructions aren't that clear but you know you can ask me whatever you want about this whenever you want >:) you guys know where to find me. See ya!
